smiling and happy. mike lynch, a man who'd carved out a highly successful career in tech, his arm around his 18—year—old daughter, hannah. in tributes today, he was described as a caring man with a brilliant mind. she as ferociously intelligent, warm and kind. what's believed to be her body was the last to be brought ashore after divers spent days exploring the yacht�*s wreckage just outside porticello harbour. the recovery of the final missing person is a sad moment, a sad marker in this tragedy. it also likely means this operation is now moving on to its next stage. the bayesian is lying on the sea bed 50m deep. it went down during a violent storm in the early hours of monday morning. this sd this 3d model shows the yacht�*s design. you can see the master suite, guest quarters and crew quarters with rims connected to the

upper deck by a staircase. why couldn't some escape? key to investigations will be this man, the captain. translation: ., , ., translation: in italy we have the crime of causing _ translation: in italy we have the crime of causing a _ translation: in italy we have the crime of causing a shipwreck. - translation: in italy we have the crime of causing a shipwreck. it - crime of causing a shipwreck. it will have to be determined whether the captain and crew played a role in this. initially we will investigate if the crime of manslaughter will apply, vertically if there was negligence by the captain of the crew. porticello is a quiet fishing town. people here have been left bewildered by what's happened. translation: because of this tragedy, everyone in this - community is really upset. although we are sicilian and those affected are english, we really feel a deep link and sense of affection for these people as if they were our neighbours. guests had been celebrating mike lynch's acquittal on fraud charges. out of 22 passengers and crew, seven lost their lives. mike and hannah lynch.

the morgan stanley boss jonathan bloomer and his wifejudy, lawyer chris morvillo and his wife neda, and the boat's chef, recaldo thomas. but the youngest was hannah. as her london school flew its flag at half mast, a tribute from someone who knew her best, her sister. the hope behind me of what was the search and recovery operation is quieter. it has wrapped up. questions will turn to how a super yacht sank with the minutes in what was described by some as a freak weather event. there are questions whether access hatches were left open other keel, designed to stabilise the vessel was fully

deployed. there has been a lot of speculation and i don't think we will get full answers quickly. but in a sign things are moving forward tonight, you the know chief prosecutor is due to speak tomorrow. that is the person he will be leading this investigation. thanks very much, jessica parker. the typical annual household energy bill will increase by £119 from october, after the energy regulator set a new price cap for england, scotland and wales. ofgem says the limit on what suppliers can charge customers is going up because of higher prices in the international energy market. here's our cost of living correspondent colletta smith. follow the leader. today's news of an energy bill rise isn't going down well with chloe. everything's just too expensive. and then your rent, like, it'sjust living. it'sjust too much. we're just fed up with it, aren't we, really? like millions of people who rely on benefits, last winter, chloe and joshua got extra cost of living payments. but there's no extra help planned this winter.

where are you going to find the £150 if, like, your wages aren't going up and then like, benefits aren't going up, you're not getting any extra help, like with benefits or anything. how are you supposed to pay for it? gas unit prices are increasing from sp to 6p per kilowatt hour, and electricity is going up from 22p to 24p per unit that you use. more providers are now starting to offer fixed tariffs again, which will give you more certainty but won't necessarily work out cheaper than the standard price cap rate across the year, so make sure you do the maths first. the rise we'll be hit within the last three months of this year is because the price of global gas has fluctuated loads in the last few months, so the amount that your supplier has had to pay for energy has gone up, and they're passing the costs onto us. we will be doing everything we can, working with the regulator, working with the suppliers to remind them of their responsibilities to the most vulnerable in our society.

and this government will leave no stone unturned. after coming under lots of pressure to scrap daily standing charges, the regulator has also said today that it will make a final decision on that by the end of the year. the truth is, though, there is no silver bullet. as a regulator, we can't make costs disappear. we can simply make them move from one part of the bill to the other. anybody want a curry and rice? nothing will change before this rise, though. this winter will feel tough for millions. the government has removed the £300 winter fuel payment for the vast majority of pensioners, except for those on pension credit. last night i had this wrapped over me and the honey, we needed it on last night. sylvia and billy are just above the threshold for that pension credit top up, so they're losing their winter fuel payment. last year was really scary, but we did get the help last year. but we still felt the cold. it's hard work sometimes when you're,

you know, if your fingers are freezing you can't do nothing can you? we shouldn't have to do that now when we've worked and paid our taxes all this time and then, and it's just really frightening. despite billy's parkinson's, they're determined not to be beaten. we're going to keep warm, aren't we bill? colletta smith, bbc news in warrington. helen catt�*s at westminster. does this announcement today put more pressure on the government over the announcement over winter fuel payments? the announcement over winter fuel pa ments? , _ ._ payments? this policy has already been criticised _ payments? this policy has already been criticised because _ payments? this policy has already been criticised because of- payments? this policy has already been criticised because of the - been criticised because of the potential impact for people in sylvia and billy's situation but the risk for people who are still eligible to claim a winter fuel payment will miss out because there are around 880,000 households that is thought to be able to claim pension credit but don't. one labour

mp today, rachael maskell has called on ministers to rethink this. she is the only one to have publicly done so. the conservatives are trying to force a debate in parliament when it returns in a couple of weeks. they are accusing labour of dishonesty. what are the chances of a complete u—turn on this? they do seem slim. rachel reeves, the chancellor, said she made the choice because she had a far worse than expected inheritance to deal with from the last government. what we are hearing from government instead is they will support vulnerable households, the energy consumers minister has said she is asking energy suppliers into a meeting next week and she has told them she expects them to commit to go substantially further to support customers and to stop them falling into debt. ., ~ and paddy o'connell will have more on that on newsnight, over on bbc two shortly.

on the energy cap we will speak to martin lewis. he will meet rachel reeves and we will meet of you kevin, who is on the wrong side of the threshold for any help. on iplayer, bbc news and live on bbc two at 10:30pm. the us vice president, kamala harris, has promised a new way forward for america, as she accepted the democratic nomination to run for the white house. she told supporters in chicago that america had to move past division and bitterness. this evening the independent candidate robert f kennedyjunior suspended his campaign for the presidency and urged his supporters to back donald trump. our north america editor sarah smith reports from chicago. please welcome the democratic nominee for president, vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris. and welcome to the biggest test of her career. one single speech that could make or break her chances of becoming president.

she used the obligatory story of her upbringing to stress that she's from working class roots, not a san francisco elite. and she said she wants to move america beyond bitterness and division and chart a new way forward. i know there are people of various political views watching tonight, and i want you to know i promise to be a president for all americans. you can always trust me. miss harris says she wants to build a country in which everyone has the chance to succeed. accusing donald trump of being interested only in himself and his rich friends and claiming that re—electing him would be dangerous for democracy. in many ways, donald trump is an unserious man. laughter. but the consequences... ..but the consequences of putting donald trump back in the white house are extremely serious.

the war on gaza has been the most controversial issue at this convention, with many democrats furious about america's support for israel. but she did not shy away from it. president biden and i are working to end this war such that israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends, and the palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, security, freedom and self—determination. robert f did uni hasjust robert f did uni has just suspended his campaign as an independent candidate. he has turned his back on the democratic party and is supporting donald trump. i am going to remove my — supporting donald trump. i am going to remove my name _ supporting donald trump. i am going to remove my name and _ supporting donald trump. i am going to remove my name and i _ supporting donald trump. i am going to remove my name and i have - supporting donald trump. i am going i to remove my name and i have already started that process and i have urged voters not to vote for me. we have just had a very nice

endorsement from rfkjunior, bobby. campaigning in las vegas, donald trump seems deflated, low energy, as he might say. he hasn't found an effective line of attack on his democratic opponent. she effective line of attack on his democratic opponent.- democratic opponent. she is considered _ democratic opponent. she is considered to _ democratic opponent. she is considered to be _ democratic opponent. she is considered to be the - democratic opponent. she is considered to be the worst l democratic opponent. she is i considered to be the worst vice president in history. i don't know who did that, she is considered to be the worst vice president in history. be the worst vice president in histo . ,, , ., history. she is the one with the momentum _ history. she is the one with the momentum right _ history. she is the one with the momentum right now, raising i history. she is the one with the - momentum right now, raising over $100 million this week. kamala harris�*sjob tonight was $100 million this week. kamala harris�*s job tonight was to look and sound presidential. of course they love to hear, this is the democratic party faithful. the question is whether she convinced the nation. and whether this massive enthusiasm will translate into votes. democrats he may feel they are on course for victory, but polls suggest the race is extremely close and there is a bruising battle to come.

robert kennedyjunior robert kennedy junior pulling robert kennedyjunior pulling out may favour donald trump slightly. he was recently polling at around 4% and there is no guaranteeing his supporters will switch to donald trump, but this is a very close election and in some states every vote counts. now that the party conventions are over, the election moved into a new phase. the next significant date is the televised debate between kamala harris and donald trump next month, another event that really has the potential to completely pent this remarkable race for the white house. the world health organization has already declared mpox an international health emergency, and now a new strain of the virus is rapidly spreading across parts of africa, leading to a surge in infections. the epicentre of the current outbreak is in the democratic republic of congo, where more than 16,500 cases have been recorded this year, with 570 deaths.

in neighbouring burundi, one of the continent's poorest nations, there's been a rise in cases, which is worrying medical officials, who've confirmed 171 cases this week. our correspondent merchuma has travelled to bujumbura, in the west of the country, where public awareness of the disease is limited, and the lack of medical facilities and vaccines means the health authorities are struggling. at one of the largest medical centres in burundi's biggest city, staff here are battling to both treat the people coming into this facility, and to monitor how far and fast the mpox virus is spreading. i had swollen lymph nodes. it was so painful i couldn't sleep. then the pain subsided up here and it moved to my legs. but i am better now. they are currently

treating 55 cases here. there are four suspected cases that just walked in and their status will be confirmed after a lab result. i'm just outside the men's unit, and normally you wouldn't see this orange or red tape here, but this is a form of isolating those who are being treated and the rest of the community that may walk in to seek services in this facility. burundi is seeing a surge in mpox cases. medical officials here are concerned about limited resources. there's only one testing laboratory in the whole country, insufficient testing kits and no vaccines. access to basic resources like water is also limited. this is a real challenge. the fact that diagnosis is only done in one place, this delays detecting new cases. health centres are calling the laboratory, saying they have suspected cases, but it takes time for teams

from the lab to deploy to where the suspected cases are to take samples, and it takes even more time to release the test results. the epicentre of africa's current health—care crisis is neighbouring drc, less than 20 miles from here. what is crucial for health officials here in burundi is that people understand the dangers of this disease, but that hasn't got through yet and it will take time. public awareness about mpox is quite limited here. most of those we spoke to do not even know what it is. those who do are not aware that it is spreading in their country. this lack of awareness means that while, on one side of bujumbura town, efforts are being made to help those affected survive and recover, elsewhere, life carries on as usual. containment is difficult, making the need for an adequate vaccine even more urgent. merchuma, bbc news,

bujumbura, burundi. the funeral has taken place of elsie dot stancombe, who was killed in the southport stabbing attacks last month, at the age of seven. she died alongside alice da silva aguiar, who was nine, and six—year—old bebe king. during today's service, a tribute written by elsie's parents was read out, saying she "brought light, love and joy to so many lives." and her teacher also paid tribute. elsie, we have so many special memories of our we will cherish these forever. it's hard to put into words just how much we will all miss you. elsie dot, you will always hold such a special place in our hearts. sentencing continues of some of the people you can see here, who took part in the recent riots across parts of the uk. speaking to the bbc, the attorney—general said he did not think the long sentences passed so far would cause a backlash.

our uk correspondent, daniel sandford, has more. the southport riot was the first of the summer and one of the worst. and in the thick of it was rory allington mott, who is circled in this footage shown in court and had travelled all the way from shropshire. during the course of the fighting he's seen throwing bricks at offices again and again. he even threw a wheelie bin. more than 50 officers were injured in the riot and today allington mott was given one of the longest sentences so far — three years, three months in prison. more than 190 people involved in the disorder have now been jailed for an average of two years. many more are being held in prison before their cases are heard. the prison population has risen by more than 700 in a fortnight, so magistrates have been asked to delay other cases until mid—september. in liverpool, the new attorney general, the minister in charge of prosecutions, was visiting the riot—damaged library.

did he think there would be a backlash from the long sentences? i don't think there's any possibility of a backlash. i think what most people thought when they saw the scenes unfolding on the streets just outside of here and in other parts of the country, that this was utterly disgraceful, grotesque criminal behaviour and that those who took part in it deserve to be punished and the punishments deserve to be severe. across england and wales, officers like these in bristol are still gathering evidence and poring through video footage to bring more people tojustice. like paul sissons, seen here kicking out at police protecting a hotel housing asylum seekers in rotherham. and his brother, who attacked a police vehicle carrying dogs. both were jailed for three years. daniel sandford, bbc news. a 67—year—old man has become the first person in the uk to use what doctors hope will be a revolutionary treatment for lung cancer.

it's a vaccine that tells the body how to fight and kill the disease. it's based on the same technology as some covid jabs, as sharon barbour explains. janusz was having difficulty with his breathing injanuary. he thought it was asthma, but it turned out to be lung cancer. when they told me this, i asked them, ok, what is the risk for me? you know, what is the probability for surviving? they said, if you don't do anything, four months left. if you do the treatment your chance is 35% to survive five years. he has undergone months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for his lung cancer, which has the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. but a new trial is now under way for a vaccine, which is hoped will improve

survival, and janusz was the first person in the uk to get it. experts hope the biontech vaccine will be a game changer. i'm very excited. we hope we can kick—start cancer research for lung cancer patients. we're going after all stages of lung cancer patients and hopefully this first generation will kick—start many other trials coming forward. how does it work? the vaccine contains information about several markers found on the lung cancer cells. these should teach the patient�*s immune system how to find cancer and fight it and the treatment should specifically target only the cancer cells for destruction. it's a very early stage in the research, with only a small number of people taking part in the trial, and it will be some time before scientists know whether it works and is safe. but forjanusz, being the first to try it means a lot. i talked to my daughters

and they told me they are proud of me, so i am proud of myself. janusz�*s hope is the vaccine will stop his cancerfrom coming back. sharon barbour, bbc news. the metropolitan police has ended its investigation into the election betting scandal. politicians and police officers were placed under investigation earlier this year, after it was alleged they'd used insider information to place bets on the date of the general election. but the met says the high bar of proving misconduct in public office hasn't been met. however, the gambling commission says it's still looking into potential breaches of the gambling act. specialforces in russia have killed four immates who had taken staff hostage at a penal colony in russia's volgograd region. the attackers, identifying themselves as islamic state

militants, killed two members of staff and injured five more, before posting mobile phone footage of their attack. the siege ended when snipers shot all four of them at the prison. there has been flooding, power cuts and travel disruption in part of the uk because of storm lilian. strong winds of up to 80 miles an hour have hit wales and northern england, causing train cancellations and leaving thousands of homes without power. here's fiona trott. a festival fiasco. and what's happened to the owners of this tent? left high, but not dry. campers at the leeds music festival waved goodbye to their beds, and some of the acts, after three stages were forced to close. on the other side of the pennines, bolton's food and drink festival was barriered off. what's happened here? both bank holiday business and community life brought to a standstill. absolutely devastated.

i'm not going to lie, i'm devastated. i've cried, i've cried. i've not stopped crying. the gazebos came straight through, shattered the tables. _ so i don't really know how much damage there is yet. _ damage from trees cut electricity supplies to thousands of homes. northern powergrid said more than 60,000 customers were affected in the east. electricity northwest said around 18,000 houses were hit there. 6:10 this morning there was a horrendous noise so i looked out the window and just in time to see the first part of this tree fall across the road. trains were stopped in their tracks across the north west. debris and floods affected 35 different sites. there was disruption on transpennine and lner services too. and look at this... ..nervous drivers on the humber bridge this morning. it later closed to high—sided vehicles. having left its trail of destruction, storm lilian has now

reached scandinavia. an early bank holiday visitor we were happy to send packing. fiona trott, bbc news. cricket, and in the first test at old trafford, sri lanka finished the day 82 runs ahead but six wickets down, in their second innings. earlier, a first test century forjamie smith was the highlight of england's first innings. today's play also saw some memorable fielding, not all of it on the field of play, asjoe wilson reports. it felt like one of those days on tourfor sri lanka. first, they watched jamie smith bat. in just his fourth test match, smith made his first hundred for england. no one expects it to be his last. then mark wood had fun. and more to the point, as we follow the ball, so did the crowd. the catch here merits some close attention. one handed, not for show, but for a practical purpose. there was a drink to hold

and protect in the other hand. very difficult to coach such technique, as england's staff acknowledged — minimal spills, full respect and england led. yeah, sri lanka began their second innings 122 runs behind and they were soon in trouble. 0—1 trouble. 1—2 trouble. quick wickets were welcome news in particularfor england's captain. ollie pope was leading on the field while the injured ben stokes retains a strong influence. in fact, at times, it seemed in fact, at times, it seemed like he was everywhere. like he was everywhere. sri lanka's skipper was out lbw, sri lanka's skipper was out lbw, with his side still trailing. with his side still trailing. but there's normally light in a test but there's normally light in a test match if you really seek it, match if you really seek it, and sri lanka then steadily and sri lanka then steadily batted towards it. batted towards it. a significant partnership built a significant partnership built between angelo mathews between angelo mathews and kamindu mendis, and kamindu mendis, shifting the mood. shifting the mood. sri lanka closed 82 ahead sri lanka closed 82 ahead but six wickets down. but six wickets down. mathews fell to a catch even mathews fell to a catch even the crowd might have been proud of. the crowd might have been proud of.
